Deskbun - Pixel bunny on your desktop that helps you through your day
by•
Deskbun is a tiny pixel bunny that lives on your Mac's desktop and helps you through your day. Start a focus session and Deskbun settles in beside you (just don't try petting mid-session). Deskbun keeps your to-do list and reminders in the menu bar, puts on a headset when you hop on a call, naps when you step away and lets you know when Claude Code, Codex or Cursor needs you. One-time purchase with lifetime updates, works on 2 Macs, no account, and nothing about your day leaves your Mac.

Hi Product Hunt!
I made Deskbun, a little pixel bunny that lives on your Mac desktop and keeps you company while you work.
I wanted something that made sitting at my desk a little more fun, without becoming another productivity app I had to keep up with. So I made a desktop pet that's cute, but actually useful.
Deskbun has a few tricks:
Focus sessions: Start a timer and Deskbun puts on reading glasses and gets to work with you. Try petting it while it's focused. It won't be amused.
To-dos and reminders: Keep a simple list in your menu bar, and Deskbun will remind you what's coming up.
Coding agents: If you use Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, Deskbun lets you know when your agent is working, needs your attention, or has finished.
Little reactions: Deskbun puts on a headset when you're on a call, takes naps when you're away, and purrs when you pet it.
A few other things worth mentioning: it's a one-time purchase, works on two Macs, and includes free updates. No accounts, subscriptions, analytics, or unnecessary permissions. Everything stays on your Mac.
I'd love to hear what you think! I'm especially curious what other little interactions or features you'd want from a desktop companion.
